title: [Role of global vascular intervention on long-term prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease].
abstract: Although recent advance of coronary intervention therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD) is remarkable, long-term clinical outcomes were similar with the past decade. Recent study demonstrated that poly-vascular disease was associated with a significant higher-risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CAD. The treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) reaches to improvement in exercise performance. Revascularization for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is associated with reduction in blood pressure and preservation of renal function. Revascularization for carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is associated with the prevention of stroke. Because systemic vascular diseases are related to cardiovascular events, the targeted screening by non-invasive testing for PAD, ARAS, and CAS would increase the frequency of diagnosis, the chance of revascularization therapies, and reach to the reduction in cardiovascular events.
